The immediate past minister of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja, Mr. Bala Mohammed, who is still in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) since since arrest on 24 October, is being investigated for monumental corruption in excess of N1.6 trillion.
Sources within the EFCC told Premium Times that Mr. Mohammed, who was Minister of Abuja from April 2010 to May 2015, was allegedly involved in extensive land racketeering as a minister.
“After computation of the land deals that he struck, we discovered that more than N1.6 trillion could not be accounted for,” a source said.
It is understood that EFCC had procured a court order to remand Mohammed in custody for a longer period in order to complete a thorough investigation.
